This Man And Woman
“Ever. Anything romantic in her nature came from her father’s DNA, and that made it evil. She assumed the Portuguese scholar researching feudal Japan had used his fiery, passionate side to snare and wed her honorable mother. It must have been a heady, addictive combination.

She’d spent the ensuing years in training and lessons, tempered by meditation and control, working steadily until anything of her father’s DNA wasn’t just suppressed.
